Your questions answered
The Questions People Ask
Before They Switch.
GoDaddy is cheap. Why pay £99 a month?+
GoDaddy’s headline price is low. But add the tools any growing business actually needs; email marketing, CRM, invoicing, SEO, social, support; and the total reaches £256 per month before you have had your first customer conversation.
Machinence costs £99 per month. That includes all 23 tools. No upsells. No surprise renewals. One number. One login. One platform.
I already have my domain with GoDaddy. Do I need to move it?+
No. You can keep your domain with GoDaddy and point it to your Machinence site. Or you can transfer your domain to Tucows via Machinence, which gives you domain management directly inside the platform. Either works. Your existing domain does not need to move for Machinence to work.
Can Machinence replace GoDaddy Website Builder?+
Yes. And considerably faster. GoDaddy’s website builder requires manual template selection, content entry and image uploads. Machinence builds a complete website from a plain description in under 2 minutes. Your site, copy, images and blog all generated automatically. No editor learning curve. No design decisions. Live today.
Does Machinence include hosting?+
Yes. Machinence is a fully managed cloud platform. Hosting, SSL certificate, security and infrastructure are all included in your monthly plan. There is no separate hosting bill, no server to configure and no technical maintenance required. Ever.
What happens when I grow and need more?+
The Launch and Scale plan at £99 covers most starting businesses comfortably. The Enterprise plan at £150 per month doubles or more across every limit. Additional users are £45 per month each. No annual contracts at either tier.
